Hi All,
 It's been quite a while since I posted.
 I understand what Kat is saying, but in my view if I am paying my taxes I am more of a 'friend' to a group or government then my vote. There would be no government without revenue. So, since I believe Jesus did not teach lawlessness to governments,  and I have to pay taxes, I go ahead and vote. God will do as he will do and I have real peace about it because I know he is working it out as He wills. 
 I told Ray once that we were about to be retired military and how was I to tell my husband  that I didn't feel good about accepting  his retirement from the government?  And Ray agreed with me that of course I would never tell him that. So every month a check comes in from US government to my husband and it is part of what we live off of. That is quite a friendly relationship . But I know that this money, just like the snow outside of my window and the blessings of the day and the hardships we face from time to time are all from God's hands and not really from any government or our works at all.

I am 57 and have never voted, not once and never will. Not my problem and never will be.

I ALWAYS vote because it is a constitutional RIGHT that many people in many countries RISK THEIR LIVES TO DO!  We, Americans, take so much for granted.  What if we were NO LONGER ALLOWED TO VOTE?
We would cry DICTATORSHIP! UNCONSTITUTIONAL!  WHAT IS THE U.S.A. COMING TO?

EVIL PREVAILS--when good men do NOTHING!  PLEASE VOTE---Do you want illegal aliens to vote for you?
What about the "bought votes"?  We MUST do OUR civic responsibilities or we deserve what "THEY" give us!

If my understanding is correct and that God deals in the affairs of man and all is predestine, and no nation has its being nor anyone comes into power or authority without it being Gods intention, then voting is futile in that what Gods will is, will be.

These other countries where the people do not have voting rights get the government they don't want and here in America we vote and don't get the government we want.  Doesn't figure unless one sees God as completely sovereign.

It appears we have a runaway government however our government is right where God wants it to be and our vote cannot change anything outside of the will of God.

 Peace and love to all.  :)
